moved to Tampa with her husband, Adam, and adorable daughter, Alex. She began a new job with KPMG in July 1995. TARA LICHTENFELS was married on May 11, 1996 to Jeffrey Gans. I attended the wedding along with JULIE SHUTT and her fiance, GREG RICHARDSON '87, Stephen and CORINNE COPPOLA KRILL, Mike and HOLLY DAVOREN DEWOLFE, JOANNE PALANDRO, KIM COGSWELL, LISA ALVAREZ-CALDERON, KAREN SONNONE MCANDREW, Doug and CINDY DOKAS WHIPPLE and JEN BLUM and her husband, Paul Weinschenk. It was a great wedding and we all had a terrific time catching up with each other. Lisa A. C. is engaged to be married to Kevin Cox and she is still happily working at CIGNA in Philadelphia. Joanne has graduated from New England School of Law and is moving to Los Angeles in September with her fiance, Keith Freedman, to pursue her career in entertainment law. Jen and Paul are expecting a baby this fall. Julie and Greg are planning to be married in September in Baltimore. I ran into TONY LUCIANO at the liquor store this weekend (where else?). He and MEGAN SULLIVAN have bought a house in my hometown of Marblehead, Mass. and are enjoying life with litde Christopher who is nine months old. I also ran into DAVID LEMONS and ANDY ZIMMERMAN this summer at Jim Beakey and John Emery's bar in Cambridge, Mass., Sazarac Grove. I had also seen Dave earlier in the summer at The Palm Restaurant but I think both of them were having too much fun to get a chance to catch up. IAN LORING has taken a new job in Boston with Bain Capital (after a few years at Berkshire Partners). I saw him during his first week, bur he seemed to be happy with it so far. As for me, I have had a few changes in my life as well. I have just begun a new job as manager of marketing communications for ITT Sheraton North America and have also moved. From now on, send your news to my new address, below. Well, hopefully my life will settle down a bit before my next report is due and I'll be able to do a few calls to get more into. In the meantime... keep those cards and letters coming! Wendy A. Goldstein '88 186 Beacon St., #4 Boston, Mass, 02116 fax: 617-267-9801 Class Agents:

Hello again and welcome to the
Reporter. You can visit our Web site at http:\ \www.trincoll.edu\alumn.i\ class1989. Check it out since we keep it updated pretty regularly and you can comment on works-inprogress as well as check out past issues of the Reporter. Tell us what you think via our e-mail addresses at the end of this column. Meanwhile, back to ink and paper. Here's the scoop about the latest Class of '89 romps: In April, we attended the wedding of DAVE LOWEY '90. and EMILY BLUMENFELD in St. Louis. We saw JEN KEHL, LIZ OSTER.HUS, VICTORIA ARTHAUD, JON KULOK, BOBBY DALY, and a host of other Trinity grads. It was a blast! Dave and Emily's house is awesome and St. Louis won us over. Maybe Ralston Purina is hiring? Victoria told us about bumping into Professor Clyde McKee in Washington D.C. Vic was jogging by the Supreme Court building where Professor McKee had just finished taking several current students to see the inside. Vic, after doing a double take, stopped to say hello. Vic is worki ng for the law firm of Cohn, Milstern, Haussaid, and Toll. We received a note from Professor McKee confirming this encounter independently. It is indeed a small world. As noted in the July issue, GRETCHEN BULLARD FRASER was married last September. We can report on more Trinity alumni/ae who attended the wedding. They include CYNTHIA KRALL, CINDY LEWIS, ORLA O'RIORDAN, GINNY KEATOR '88, and MATTHEW KEATOR '88. Gretchen and her husband, Tobin, are moving to Traverse City, Mich. where Tobin will be doing his residency in family medicine and Gretchen will be working as an occupational therapist. SUSAN DIXON '90 and BECKY HOLT wrote in to preview LAURA THOMAS's wedding up in Burlington, Vt. in late June 1996. They seemed to be having a fun time. Susan wrote later with a follow-up to say that the wedding encountered some bad weather, but with the organization of a minister, the serene calm of a Buddhist monk, and the resonance of a gong, all worked out well. It sounded like it was perfect for the

new couple. Other Trinity grads attending were BARBARA SCUDDER, MICHELLE MONTI, and GAIL BELANGER. Being known troublemakers, they were chaperoned by "Myrtle," the owner of the B&B where the guests stayed. I don't think Myrtle would have lasted very long in Funston in 1989. Susan writes further that she will be teaching Japanese in Hawaii in the coming year. And yes, she is a Styx fan, but her current students don't understand any of her "Mr. Roboto" jokes. Just like our kids will be saying "Hootie Who?" Hai! We'll be seeing you on our way out to the Sydney 2000 Olympics if you're still there. Susan asked about SAMANTHA KOSTER. Samantha recently got promoted at Citibank where she's working on marketing campaigns for the AAdvantage card. We saw Sam and her sister, Jessie, at a recent hip gathering in Hoboken. JAY WILLIAMSON led the field of golfers in the Kemper Open for three rounds before shooting a 79 in the fourth round in late May. CBS, which covered the event, mentioned Jay's Trinity degree and athletic exploits several times during the course of the Open. MATT MAGINNISS and his wife, Marilyn, are expecting their second child in August 1996. Matt says Christopher is doing well and is into sports and basically whatever else he can get his hands on. JENNIFER DUCAR writes that she left the Goodspeed Opera House last November and is currently working for ProScript, a biotech company in Cambridge, Mass. She also let us know that GILLIAN CAUFIELD BUCKLEY is working nearby at Ziff-Davis publishing in Medford, Mass. Jill was married last September on Nantucket and now resides in Milford with her husband, David, and their rwo dogs, Nelson and Kay. Once again, BOB MARKEE wins the prize for most communicative of all Trinity alums (with the exception of my wonderful spouse). He regales us daily with puzzles, jokes, urban legends, and satire. (If you wish to be on Bob's distribution list, drop him an email at BobMarkee@aol.com.) Here is Bob's latest update: "Well here's my 2nd Annual postMemorial Day report for the Trinity Reporter. A year or more into finishing my thesis, I'm nearly done, and the grind of writing and researching day in and day out is grueling and back-breaking. At any rate, that's my story and I'm stick-
ing to it. (Hmmm .. .looking out my window at the beautiful day, I'm beginning to realize I'm wasting my time procrastinating at my computer, and it may be time to go play some golÂŁ Graduate School is hell.) "I was in Washington, D.C. again this year for a graduation (LAURA CAWTHORNE's master's from Georgetown) and sadly the city was fairly empty of Trinity folks. MIKE VANDERBILT left D.C. in March to travel around the world until at least this fall. As of the moment, he's in Australia having already been through Hong Kong and New Zealand. He emailed me recently to say that he got together for dinner with PIKE PETERS and his wife, Marianne Stillwell. Pike and Marianne are expecting their first child in November. They should be moved into their new house by then. "Seth Lipton left D.C. to move to New York after graduating from law school and like a true bornand-raised New Yorker sounds like he'll never be happy living anywhere else. "I did get the chance to have dinner with some D.C. people, namely ANDRES ESTRADA, WOODY BROOKS, and SANDY BURKE, the Thursday night before Memorial Day weekend. They claimed they were all going to be our of town after that dinner and I'm real ly not at all hurt that they didn't immediately cancel all of their plans the minu~e they heard I was in town (sniff). All of them are looking and feeling good and seem to be prospering well in their careers as the big 3-0 approaches us all (although Sandy cruelly noted that those of us who had already turned 29 seemed to have lost our "zip," for which comment she was appropriately punished). Andres and Woody said that they were looking forward to attending AMY KESTNBAUM's July 1996 wedding, and also looking forward to the return to D.C. of]IM WALSH '90 who has been in Florence this year working on his Ph.D. (Quick note: We read in The New York Times about Amy Kestnbaum's July 21st wedding to Bjorn Jakob Martin Janzon, a classmate from the Yale School of Public and Private Management. Hope the honeymoon went well!) Back to Bob: "It seemed as if Andres, Woody and Sandy would be the only Trin people I would get to see in D .C. bur strange fate took a hand. I managed to drop in on LISA SCHROEDER on my way to the train station at the end of the
